Thanks. And yep I've posted it for sale a few times, got laid off work several years ago so had it posted for a "gotta pay the mortgage" price, then finally found work and had it posted recently with a too high emotional "want a new camera but don't really want to sell the bike" price, but fortunatly never got a serious offer on it. I do like the bike and how it handles.

I found an Athena group on ebay with some nice pictures of the components, I'm really liking that group so now I've got a good idea of what I'll aim for. I'll also check out the other suggestions too. Tires currently on it only have one race on them from one stupid summer a few years ago when I enterwd one of the SuperWeek races with only maybe 200miles total on my legs that year leading up to the race. Call it a spur of the moment don't think about it attempt, one where the only time I kept up with the pack was during the practice warmup laps and the first full lap of the actual race, at which point I was totally spent but happy for having gave it a go.

Anyway, I'll check out the tires and bars mentioned above, and in the mean time I'll get out the lube and the rollers and set up an area in the basement for some winter dungeon training.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll be sure to post updated pics if I make any changes to the bike.
